Corey Patrick Wilhelm "Billy" Greulich-Smith (born 24 April 1991) is an English footballer who currently plays for Shildon.

Playing career

Greulich had a varied career as a youth player. He was at the academies of both Middlesbrough and Sunderland, and also spent time at both Luton Town and Watford.[2]

He ended up at Northern Football League side Brandon United before the end of his teenage years. After a trial with Hartlepool United in summer 2009, he made it into The Football League, signing his first professional contract with the club in August 2009.

He made his debut in a 1–0 home win over Tranmere Rovers on 24 October 2009, replacing Adam Boyd in the 73rd minute.[3]

Greulich made a further three substitute appearances over the following six weeks, following an injury crisis at the club.[4] Having gained first-team experience, he signed a new contract at the end of the season.[5]

In May 2011 Greulich was not offered a new contract by the club, along with nine other players, and was released.

Moving back into non-league football, Greulich joined Durham City, of the Northern Premier League for the 2011–12 season; by the time of his departure to Shildon in January 2012, he had scored 4 goals in 24 league appearances for Durham.

He joined Shildon early in 2012, and enjoyed a more prolific second half of the season than his first, scoring 6 goals in 14 appearances for the club.
